a reputation to 11 se up to.
Is North Park a college or is it an academy!
Von know the answer; but how great a percent-age
of the people you meet every day do? I fear
it is small enough to cause even Bob Ripley to
prick up him rather prominent ears. Recall, if you
ean, how often you have to explain to people ask-ing
what school you attend just what the set-up
is here. While not one of life's greater tragedies.
it isn't exactly pleasant for an Aeademy senior
to have to explain that he's still in high-sehool
when mistaken for a College student, nor is it
relished by the eollegiate freshman to he taken
for an academie hanger-on. At best, it imparts
the feeling that people don't know too much
about North Park.
The matter of what the public knows about the
school may be somewhat less important than the
fact that there is a doeided need for more distinc-tion
between the groups right on the campus.
This is the opinion sf the College as well as of the
Academy.
The smaller of the two groups, the Academy.
has generally been overridden in issues put to
student vote. These, usually. concerned selection
of class jewelry, class gift, and graduating class
officers. There was also the matter of represen-tation
in the Cupola. While more distinction in
these matters would not finish the job, it war felt
that, it would he a healthy start. and as a result
we find that this year all of these things have
been adjusted to more clearly define the College
and Academy.
The seniors in the Academy have selected their
own jewelry, their own class officers have a fair
and influential representation on the gift com-mittee.
and have been assigned their own selec-tion
in the Cupola.
These departures from precedent have satisfied
Imth groups fully, and what more could be asked!
When we have accomplished distinetion on the
campus, North Park will he known as an educa-tional
institution combining an academy and a
college, not as "Let's 11,1W, is that a college
or a high school?"

A lot of earnest young American
campus debaters are flaying sad ex-periences
meeting the present Oxford
and Cambridge teams which are tour-ing
the country.
English debate tactics never seem
too change, but unfortunately their
American opponents never get wise.
It is a common assertion that the Ox-ford
Union provides the best debate
training in tile world. although it
s ems to consist of an ability to charm
the audience, to maintain complete
nonchalance, to spin merry tales.
American students, on the other
hand, bone up for weeks, outline their
case concretely and spew forth facts
and figures at a terrific rate — all of
which the Englishmen wase airily
aside as so much amusing rubbish.
We know of one' case, however,
where the Britishers did not ignore
statistics. In fact, they made tremen-dously
effective use of them and won
their debate hands down.
One of their team arose to his feet
and with a rather weary air said,
"We knew our opponents would simp-ly
devastate all of us with their sta-tistics.
We hate decided we can beat
them with statistics of our own, which
we will now give to you."
Whereupon he unwound a long, long
roll of paper until it touched the floor,
then gathered it all up and tossed it
tiler the footlights!

PEN SCRATCHE
'It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis
Doubleday, Doran & (20., 1936, $2.50
Realism—blunt stark realism--is tfie
ing eharacteristic of Sinclair Lewis' latest hiotik
'It Can't !lappet' Ilere.•' A title of the American
people emneshed in the web of a powerful dicta-torship,
it not only gives suggestions of what
would happen in such a situation, Imt bluntiv
states the cold facts. Although at times one
wishes that Lewis had not been so realistic its. his
descriptions of concentration eamp horrors, it is
this same quality of realism which makes th
book it vital and powerful thing.
"It Can't Happen Here" is the story of the
American ship of state with two OHM, a slightly
educated. small town Westerner and a cruel,
clever, unscrupulous devil, on the bridge. Under
these two, Berzelius Windrip, the countrified
Westerner. and Lee Sarason. the United States
becomes a land without liberty, in which neigh-
110T'S Ilre afraid to talk about anything except the
condition of their gardens or the rust in their
water pipes for fear of a sudden arrest by the
"Minute Men"—the "black shirts — of America.
The main charleter is Doremus Jessup. is small
town editor who, through his paper, tries to fight
the dietatorial regime. Wi!PO this means fails. he
turns to the secret publication of anti-Windrip-
Sarason propaganda which in tuns places him in
one of the many concentration camps flourishing
in the land. The end of the book shows his ulti-mate
escape, which sends him into a land still in
the (thatches of dictatorship and his flight to the
North woods with a "Minute Men" posse at his
heels. Around his story revolve those of Isis
daughter Sissiv and her sweetheart, Julian Falck,
hotli of whom fire his loyal supporters; of his
daughter, Mary, whose husband was cold-blood-edly
murdered try the "Minute Men"; and of his
son. Philip, who goes far ul) iii the WilldriP-Saramon
regime.
In reading the book. one recognizes many of
the (diameters as caricatures of Malty figures on
the politieal battle field of today. Sinclair Lewis
stands alone in the American literary field in his
ability to transmit the personality of his subjects:
his Doremus Jessup, the middle class intellectual,
is a masterpiece in itself.
“It Can't Happen Here" is a timely book.
Americans, far from the European seats of Com-munism
and Fascism, are inclined to scoff at such
conditions and say "It ean't happen here"; but
Lewis shows too well how it can and might hap-pen
here. At first one has a tendency to laugh
at the bizarre government portrayed in the hook.
but in reading on, the feeling that it is not as
fantastical as it seems aisil that the "land of the
noble free" is not so superior as to emeape this
type of government grows steadily stronger. The
realization that the horrors of the concentration
camps are not the products of Lewis' fertile
imagination, but rather that they are based on
well-founded facts concerning German camps is
a sickening one. "It Can't Happen Here" is a
warning; let us hope that it will never bee a
record of an era in our country.

reveal that the team will be engaged
In two dual meets and one triangular
meet. The annual state meet which
will b. held this year at Ogden Park
is being most eagerly awaited. Two
Viking track men, Joe Cuervo and the
indefatigable Al Behrens, won places
in last year's contest. Cuervo took
fourths in both the hundred and the
two-twenty yard dashes. and Behrens
high-jumped his way to a third; both
are expected to repeat this year.
These two men are going to be ably
assisted in their point-getting quest
by a number of others who have al-ready
shown very good form in the
few practices the team has had. Cap-tain
Frank York is almost certain to
do good work in the high and low
hurdle events. Harry Brown looks
very promising, and, in his own ver-satile
manner, has acquired proficien-cy
in no less than three events: the
high jump. and both the high and
low hurdles.
The team is going to be very strong
In the track events, since most of the
talent displayed leans toward that
aspect of the sport. Cross seems to be
a good prospect in the dashes. and
Schermer. Rasmussen, Dahl. and Ed
Anderson are depended on to carry
the loads in the middle distances.
With such material available, the
prospect of a very fast relay team is
good.
The field events, although haying
fewer votaries, will also be well taken
care of. Phil Walsh has shown ex-cellent
form in both the high jump
and pole vault. He has been working
only on the perfection of his style,
hut even so has come within a foot
of last year's state mark. Gustafson
and Butler are dmoting most of their
time to the tossing of weights, and
John Anderson has become quite pro-ficient
with the discus.
Probably the most outstanding per-formance
of the new men is that of
Stone. With only three weeks of
practise as experience, he has already
broadjumped as far as twenty feet. If
he can repeat this only once in the
state meet he will break the standing
record. It certainly seems plausible
that he should be able to do this,
especially after more practise.
The team lines up very well on pa-
Der, but, of course, like any other
team, the results are always best an-ticipated
after the t,ani has seen com-petition.
We have a good deal of
promising material, however, and
there is no reason why the team
should not be one of North Park's
beet.

GIRLS SPORTS
As the warm breezes of spring blou
' across our fair campus, we have been
noticing the arrival of well-worn ten-nis
rackets to the vicinity of the gym.
It has been rumored that many bud-ding
stars are starting practice under
the supervision of Mrs. Toren.
We wonder how the lecturers in the
gym classes are making out, with the
sounds of baseballs striking against
their doors, tennis rackets being flung
to the floor, and the whisking of jump-ropes
pervading their discussions.
Soon, if present plans are carried
through, a tennis tournament is to
be scheduled, and this will he open to
all sstrle int, rested.
Girls having W. A. A. points which
they wish to have recorded should see
Jane Nyren concerning them. As you
all know, points are given for partici-pation
in baseball, tennis, hiking, rid-ing
and track. Lastly. bowling has
been added to the list.
Yesterday afternoon the W. A. A.
girls had a hike and "steak fry." A
great time was had by all — and sev-eral
of the girls who are working for
letters added a goodly number of the
much coveted points to their records.

North Park's baseball team, after
five weeks or practice, has finally
been cut down to the most dvtairabsIg
size by Coach Youngquist. From the
fcrty men who reported at vanlous
times as candidates for regular posi-tions,
only twenty-one have been se-lected
to remain, and tills number
comprises the best material that can
be found.

Coach YoungquIst will find his big-gest

we will probably have six equally tal-ented

Many of the various student reli-gious
activities have suffered a mo-mentary
set-back because of the recent
Easter vacation. During the holidays
a number of students visited their
homes, and several Seminary men
served churches throughout Passion
Week. And on Friday of last week the
Men's Glee Club left on its annual
tour. This means that many of the
regular attendants at religious ser-vices
will be unable to attend. If a
good showing is to be had in the acti-vities
of the next two weeks every-one
will have to do their best to at-tend
the several meetings which are
Ached u led .
It was the privilege of those who
went to the fellowship service on
Tuesday evening to hear Professor
David Nyvall bring a stirring and
thought•provoking message. His noble
personality and strong faith naturally
inspire those who listen with a new
determination to attack world prob-lems
in a Christian manner.
E‘eryone likes a banquet that is
really unique, and that is just the
kind of an affair the Student Volun-teers
succeeded in putting across on
Thursday evening, April 16, at Caro-line
Hall. J. Fredrick Burgh was the

introduced were Sigurd Westberg.
Stafford Scott, and Edythe Johnson.
who gave short talks on various
I phases or the missionary enterprise,
and Eugene Lundberg and Mabel
Helm, who favored the assembled
guests with several musical selections.
As a fitting climax to the evening's
enjoyment, Gust E. Johnson, Secretary
of Foreign Missions for the Mission
Covenant, gave an illuminating ad-
, dress. He paid a passing tribute to our
Covenant missionaries on the field
and made those present conscious of
a deeper missionary zeal.
On last Friday. April 17. Theodore
W. Anderson, president of the Coy-enant,
gave the second of a seriea of
messages on personal evangelism. Has
pungent advice on this branch of
Christian duty is proving extremely
helpful to Bible students. A brief out-line
of possible methods for evangel-inition
was suggested. Some of the
channels through which an appeal can
be made are campaigns, personal ap-peals,
pastoral work, rescue missions,
and Bible Conferences. On April 27.
Monday evening. at 8:00 p. m., the
Religious Education Club will present
an interesting program. Moving pic-tures
of the junior conference at
Cromwell, Connecticut, will be shown.
But this is only one feature of the
program which will also include a
talk by Miss C. Gray on The Attitude
of the Mod,wn Jew Toward Jesus. All
those who attend this meeting in the
College Chapel will be offered a pro.
gram of much value and internist.

Is North Park a college or is it an academy!
Von know the answer; but how great a percent-age
of the people you meet every day do? I fear
it is small enough to cause even Bob Ripley to
prick up him rather prominent ears. Recall, if you
ean, how often you have to explain to people ask-ing
what school you attend just what the set-up
is here. While not one of life's greater tragedies.
it isn't exactly pleasant for an Aeademy senior
to have to explain that he's still in high-sehool
when mistaken for a College student, nor is it
relished by the eollegiate freshman to he taken
for an academie hanger-on. At best, it imparts
the feeling that people don't know too much
about North Park.
The matter of what the public knows about the
school may be somewhat less important than the
fact that there is a doeided need for more distinc-tion
between the groups right on the campus.
This is the opinion sf the College as well as of the
Academy.
The smaller of the two groups, the Academy.
has generally been overridden in issues put to
student vote. These, usually. concerned selection
of class jewelry, class gift, and graduating class
officers. There was also the matter of represen-tation
in the Cupola. While more distinction in
these matters would not finish the job, it war felt
that, it would he a healthy start. and as a result
we find that this year all of these things have
been adjusted to more clearly define the College
and Academy.
The seniors in the Academy have selected their
own jewelry, their own class officers have a fair
and influential representation on the gift com-mittee.
and have been assigned their own selec-tion
in the Cupola.
These departures from precedent have satisfied
Imth groups fully, and what more could be asked!
When we have accomplished distinetion on the
campus, North Park will he known as an educa-tional
institution combining an academy and a
college, not as "Let's 11,1W, is that a college
or a high school?"

A lot of earnest young American
campus debaters are flaying sad ex-periences
meeting the present Oxford
and Cambridge teams which are tour-ing
the country.
English debate tactics never seem
too change, but unfortunately their
American opponents never get wise.
It is a common assertion that the Ox-ford
Union provides the best debate
training in tile world. although it
s ems to consist of an ability to charm
the audience, to maintain complete
nonchalance, to spin merry tales.
American students, on the other
hand, bone up for weeks, outline their
case concretely and spew forth facts
and figures at a terrific rate — all of
which the Englishmen wase airily
aside as so much amusing rubbish.
We know of one' case, however,
where the Britishers did not ignore
statistics. In fact, they made tremen-dously
effective use of them and won
their debate hands down.
One of their team arose to his feet
and with a rather weary air said,
"We knew our opponents would simp-ly
devastate all of us with their sta-tistics.
We hate decided we can beat
them with statistics of our own, which
we will now give to you."
Whereupon he unwound a long, long
roll of paper until it touched the floor,
then gathered it all up and tossed it
tiler the footlights!

PEN SCRATCHE
'It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis
Doubleday, Doran & (20., 1936, $2.50
Realism—blunt stark realism--is tfie
ing eharacteristic of Sinclair Lewis' latest hiotik
'It Can't !lappet' Ilere.•' A title of the American
people emneshed in the web of a powerful dicta-torship,
it not only gives suggestions of what
would happen in such a situation, Imt bluntiv
states the cold facts. Although at times one
wishes that Lewis had not been so realistic its. his
descriptions of concentration eamp horrors, it is
this same quality of realism which makes th
book it vital and powerful thing.
"It Can't Happen Here" is the story of the
American ship of state with two OHM, a slightly
educated. small town Westerner and a cruel,
clever, unscrupulous devil, on the bridge. Under
these two, Berzelius Windrip, the countrified
Westerner. and Lee Sarason. the United States
becomes a land without liberty, in which neigh-
110T'S Ilre afraid to talk about anything except the
condition of their gardens or the rust in their
water pipes for fear of a sudden arrest by the
"Minute Men"—the "black shirts — of America.
The main charleter is Doremus Jessup. is small
town editor who, through his paper, tries to fight
the dietatorial regime. Wi!PO this means fails. he
turns to the secret publication of anti-Windrip-
Sarason propaganda which in tuns places him in
one of the many concentration camps flourishing
in the land. The end of the book shows his ulti-mate
escape, which sends him into a land still in
the (thatches of dictatorship and his flight to the
North woods with a "Minute Men" posse at his
heels. Around his story revolve those of Isis
daughter Sissiv and her sweetheart, Julian Falck,
hotli of whom fire his loyal supporters; of his
daughter, Mary, whose husband was cold-blood-edly
murdered try the "Minute Men"; and of his
son. Philip, who goes far ul) iii the WilldriP-Saramon
regime.
In reading the book. one recognizes many of
the (diameters as caricatures of Malty figures on
the politieal battle field of today. Sinclair Lewis
stands alone in the American literary field in his
ability to transmit the personality of his subjects:
his Doremus Jessup, the middle class intellectual,
is a masterpiece in itself.
“It Can't Happen Here" is a timely book.
Americans, far from the European seats of Com-munism
and Fascism, are inclined to scoff at such
conditions and say "It ean't happen here"; but
Lewis shows too well how it can and might hap-pen
here. At first one has a tendency to laugh
at the bizarre government portrayed in the hook.
but in reading on, the feeling that it is not as
fantastical as it seems aisil that the "land of the
noble free" is not so superior as to emeape this
type of government grows steadily stronger. The
realization that the horrors of the concentration
camps are not the products of Lewis' fertile
imagination, but rather that they are based on
well-founded facts concerning German camps is
a sickening one. "It Can't Happen Here" is a
warning; let us hope that it will never bee a
record of an era in our country.
ELDER ANDERSON AND HIS DOG TEAM
(Story on page Is
APRIL III, 1936
Track Team to
Practice 3 Wks.
More for Meets
North Park's track tk am, although
somewhat handicapped by the un-seasonable
weather, is gradually
rounding into shape. The menwho
Lave reported have displayed - con-siderable
interest, and the squad will
be ready when its first meet Is held.
An examination of the schedule will
reveal that the team will be engaged
In two dual meets and one triangular
meet. The annual state meet which
will b. held this year at Ogden Park
is being most eagerly awaited. Two
Viking track men, Joe Cuervo and the
indefatigable Al Behrens, won places
in last year's contest. Cuervo took
fourths in both the hundred and the
two-twenty yard dashes. and Behrens
high-jumped his way to a third; both
are expected to repeat this year.
These two men are going to be ably
assisted in their point-getting quest
by a number of others who have al-ready
shown very good form in the
few practices the team has had. Cap-tain
Frank York is almost certain to
do good work in the high and low
hurdle events. Harry Brown looks
very promising, and, in his own ver-satile
manner, has acquired proficien-cy
in no less than three events: the
high jump. and both the high and
low hurdles.
The team is going to be very strong
In the track events, since most of the
talent displayed leans toward that
aspect of the sport. Cross seems to be
a good prospect in the dashes. and
Schermer. Rasmussen, Dahl. and Ed
Anderson are depended on to carry
the loads in the middle distances.
With such material available, the
prospect of a very fast relay team is
good.
The field events, although haying
fewer votaries, will also be well taken
care of. Phil Walsh has shown ex-cellent
form in both the high jump
and pole vault. He has been working
only on the perfection of his style,
hut even so has come within a foot
of last year's state mark. Gustafson
and Butler are dmoting most of their
time to the tossing of weights, and
John Anderson has become quite pro-ficient
with the discus.
Probably the most outstanding per-formance
of the new men is that of
Stone. With only three weeks of
practise as experience, he has already
broadjumped as far as twenty feet. If
he can repeat this only once in the
state meet he will break the standing
record. It certainly seems plausible
that he should be able to do this,
especially after more practise.
The team lines up very well on pa-
Der, but, of course, like any other
team, the results are always best an-ticipated
after the t,ani has seen com-petition.
We have a good deal of
promising material, however, and
there is no reason why the team
should not be one of North Park's
beet.

spite of their lack of practice, the

GIRLS SPORTS
As the warm breezes of spring blou
' across our fair campus, we have been
noticing the arrival of well-worn ten-nis
rackets to the vicinity of the gym.
It has been rumored that many bud-ding
stars are starting practice under
the supervision of Mrs. Toren.
We wonder how the lecturers in the
gym classes are making out, with the
sounds of baseballs striking against
their doors, tennis rackets being flung
to the floor, and the whisking of jump-ropes
pervading their discussions.
Soon, if present plans are carried
through, a tennis tournament is to
be scheduled, and this will he open to
all sstrle int, rested.
Girls having W. A. A. points which
they wish to have recorded should see
Jane Nyren concerning them. As you
all know, points are given for partici-pation
in baseball, tennis, hiking, rid-ing
and track. Lastly. bowling has
been added to the list.
Yesterday afternoon the W. A. A.
girls had a hike and "steak fry." A
great time was had by all — and sev-eral
of the girls who are working for
letters added a goodly number of the
much coveted points to their records.

North Park's baseball team, after
five weeks or practice, has finally
been cut down to the most dvtairabsIg
size by Coach Youngquist. From the
fcrty men who reported at vanlous
times as candidates for regular posi-tions,
only twenty-one have been se-lected
to remain, and tills number
comprises the best material that can
be found.

abilities as fly-chasers are equally as

Coach YoungquIst will find his big-gest

a few of the basemen undergo very
drastic changes within the next week,
we will probably have six equally tal-ented

on the squad, has, shown very

The boys from Loyola U. have

game that has become a real hit.
In fact it's a series of hits. The
game, however is limited to fel-lows

is the one who accrues the
most points in one week. For fend-ers
one gets anywhere from five
points on a Ford to 25 on a Dusen-berg.
For complete wrecks one may
score from 25 on the Ford to 100

are given for pedestrians:-100
points for each person of average '1
age, while a real young child or
an exteremely elderly person may '
bring as high as 200 points. Then,
too, the width of the street enters

Many of the various student reli-gious
activities have suffered a mo-mentary
set-back because of the recent
Easter vacation. During the holidays
a number of students visited their
homes, and several Seminary men
served churches throughout Passion
Week. And on Friday of last week the
Men's Glee Club left on its annual
tour. This means that many of the
regular attendants at religious ser-vices
will be unable to attend. If a
good showing is to be had in the acti-vities
of the next two weeks every-one
will have to do their best to at-tend
the several meetings which are
Ached u led .
It was the privilege of those who
went to the fellowship service on
Tuesday evening to hear Professor
David Nyvall bring a stirring and
thought•provoking message. His noble
personality and strong faith naturally
inspire those who listen with a new
determination to attack world prob-lems
in a Christian manner.
E‘eryone likes a banquet that is
really unique, and that is just the
kind of an affair the Student Volun-teers
succeeded in putting across on
Thursday evening, April 16, at Caro-line
Hall. J. Fredrick Burgh was the
toastmaster. and among those he apt-ly
introduced were Sigurd Westberg.
Stafford Scott, and Edythe Johnson.
who gave short talks on various
I phases or the missionary enterprise,
and Eugene Lundberg and Mabel
Helm, who favored the assembled
guests with several musical selections.
As a fitting climax to the evening's
enjoyment, Gust E. Johnson, Secretary
of Foreign Missions for the Mission
Covenant, gave an illuminating ad-
, dress. He paid a passing tribute to our
Covenant missionaries on the field
and made those present conscious of
a deeper missionary zeal.
On last Friday. April 17. Theodore
W. Anderson, president of the Coy-enant,
gave the second of a seriea of
messages on personal evangelism. Has
pungent advice on this branch of
Christian duty is proving extremely
helpful to Bible students. A brief out-line
of possible methods for evangel-inition
was suggested. Some of the
channels through which an appeal can
be made are campaigns, personal ap-peals,
pastoral work, rescue missions,
and Bible Conferences. On April 27.
Monday evening. at 8:00 p. m., the
Religious Education Club will present
an interesting program. Moving pic-tures
of the junior conference at
Cromwell, Connecticut, will be shown.
But this is only one feature of the
program which will also include a
talk by Miss C. Gray on The Attitude
of the Mod,wn Jew Toward Jesus. All
those who attend this meeting in the
College Chapel will be offered a pro.
gram of much value and internist.
